Having garnered immense success with the XC90 in the country, Volvo India has launched the new XC90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid in the country. As the name suggests, the new XC90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid is part of Volvo's new Excellence Edition, which also includes a range-topping 4-seater XC90 with the regular powertrain. Both the regular and the hybrid trims come with a host of uber-exclusive comfort features.
Along with the previously mentioned features like the Champagne cooler, individual reclinable rear seats that are electronically-adjustable and come with a ventilation function and footrests. All seats also come with massage function.

These provisions are complemented by ambient lighting, illuminated storage, a retractable control touchscreen, folding tables, a refrigerator with bottle and glass holders, a heated/chilled cup holder, and handmade crystal glasses from leading Swedish company, Orrefors. Oh, and it also gets an Orrefors crystal gear shifter.
As mentioned earlier, The AWD Volvo XC90 Excellence derives power from the company's T8 Twin-Engine Plug-in Hybrid Electric powertrain that is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The SUV offers a combined power output of nearly 402bhp and develops a maximum torque of 640Nm. For safety, it receives the same provisions as the XC90 T8 Inscription, Momentum, and R-Design.
